Fall Home Maintenance

Doing quarterly home maintenance is a smart way to retain the value of your home and avoid costly repairs due to years of neglect. Some tips for Fall maintenance:

Outdoor Tasks:
- Clean gutters and downspouts.
- Inspect roof and chimney for cracks and damage.
- Rake leaves and shred to use as mulch or dispose of them based on local guidelines.
- Remove hoses from spigots and drain and store indoors, coiled and flat.
- Store outdoor furniture and cushions.

Indoor Tasks:
- Grab that caulk gun and look for gaps around windows and doors and fill them. Install weather stripping.
- Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors when you set clocks back in the fall (next weekend!).
